Book three

Princess Gizel book 3 - The Princess and the Rebels is out and I am hoping to get the paperback version formatted over the weekend. The next Arturo book will be out in January and then in March I should be getting the full book about Taroniah - the main character in the short story that was included in Fantastic Schools Vol 3.
After that I am not sure.
